Eddie Hearn has revealed his conversation with Anthony Joshua.
Anthony Joshua and his team have rejected multi-million dollar offers to host his highly anticipated heavyweight bout against Tyson Fury in the United States. Promoters, including Dana White and TKO, had reportedly pushed to stage the all-British showdown at Madison Square Garden in New York City. However, Joshua insisted on holding the fight in the United Kingdom.

Hearn stated that they had to stand firm under immense pressure to protect the original agreement, meaning the fight is now expected to take place in the UK later this year.
